I Am From Nowhere
Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 1:54PM
Not here not there
Not any place in between
Ask my past and they deny me
Ask my peers and they deny me
And my future lies beyond a smokescreen
From L.A. to D.C.
Did a stint in Colorado Springs
I’m even a stranger here in KC
I am an immigrant in my own home
When I claim residence I am alone
For even my parents are far
From where they’ve grown
And now I’ve grown this way
No place for me to stay
I am a foreigner in every way
Not any place in between
Not here, not there
I am from nowhere.
By Will, age 17
